UC Davis Transfer Fall 2018--Discussion Post

The UC schools are a great bunch of universities. I wish the best of luck to everyone applying to them!

@waiting4answer it shouldn’t matter whether others are filling it out or not. If you can see yourself going to UCD, do it. If not, don’t waste your time. I personally am going to fill it out, the perks are very enticing. A lot of past students from various UC schools have said that priority registration in itself should be worth it. You can get the best classes and have a better chance to achieve a high GPA. Not to mention the money, the research opportunities, and having it on your transcript.

@cricketfan I definitely see your point. I also think they sent it relatively early to entice us to go there over the “more elite” UCs. But if you think about, there is a lot that they’re rewarding through the scholarship. And UCD is a good school. They probably wanna reward it to only the “most deserving” individuals.

@choukevin btw, UCI sent you regents? Did you tag there?

@ericbadmon yeah I received regents and an invitation to the honors program for UCI, I didn’t TAG anywhere, Im probably going to turn down the acceptance soon though

@choukevin honestly regents is really good tho, it’s worth thinking it through. The priority reg. in itself gives you an upperhand. If you’re pursuing a graduate level education, it’s really worth considering going to the school that gives you regents. Especially cuz UCI is already a fine school in itself.
BTW I doubt you would know this but- you think UCI finished sending it to everyone?? Cuz I thought they give regents invitations when they do their decisions.

@ericbadmon true, there are some good perks for regents…do you think I should wait until all of the UCs come out with their decisions then make a decision then? UCI is def a good school but I do want to get out of Irvine as I have lived here all of my life (the Irvine bubble is REAL hahah)

UCI is def not done sending acceptances, last year there were applicants that received acceptances as late as 4/25. However, past that date, all of the decisions were rejections/waitlists. Are you still waiting on UCI?

@choukevin sorry, I was a little pissed this morning. They look at your LOR’s, EC’s, and personal insight ?'s when they choose whether you get the scholarship or not. They look at your GPA, courses, and personal achievements when they decide to offer the application.

@Anhionring9 no problem, it’s def a stressful time of year for applicants. thanks for the information, that makes it a lot clearer now

So has anyone heard back from Davis? I remember reading these threads last year and wondering why everyone was stressing so much, now I’m basically an anxious mess.

I got into UCSC,Riverside and SB but I think my acceptance for SB will be withdrawn because my GPA after this semester is going to be a 3.19 and I tagged. I really hope I get into Irvine, Davis or San Diego but I doubt it. :confused:

has anyone who got the regents email been able to sign into the app?
they sent out an email saying there were issues with logging on and u still can’t get in…

Nope, I still can’t login to fill out the application for regents. Does anyone know what the 3 short essay topics are for regents? Or do they only let you know once you sign in?

@choukevin small world man we both live in Irvine and go to scc lmao. And yes most definitely. The perks that come with regents are worth thinking about, especially if you wanna go to grad school. and yeah I wasn’t taking about admissions, I was wondering if you think they’re done sending out regents offers

@ericbadmon Yeah, I’m pretty sure that they are finished sending out Regents offers. If you don’t mind me asking, what’s your GPA?

@ericbadmon lol that’s pretty crazy to be honest. and oops, I actually don’t know if they’re done sending out regents offers but I would think that schools would usually like to send regents early and all out at once to the students but I could be wrong.

To be honest, all I want is UCLA and/or UCB hahah ^:)^

@BBoy99 I have a 4.0. And yeah prob so dang I was hoping I would get one for uci but oh well I’m humbled to get invited from any school

Sit down, be humble! :x

The Regents application is up!

Oh my god the mybill thing worked!! I’m taking it very lightly but davis is my #1 <3 so it does make me a bit excited… still gonna stay humble tho…

@plzpaymytuition I hope you get in but just as a caution, I haven’t read a single post about mybill not working for them. I went through all of this thread and 75% of last years thread.

it worked for me too so hopefully we get in
